The group was later renamed Alpha Gamma from the Greek origins of the word "alpha"-A- and gamma-Γ-). The group had a hardcore style of rapping. Alpha Gamma released Neoellina Akou EP in 2000. Alpha Gamma released Agnostophobia the next year. The video for Arketa Gia Na Mathenis was banned from television. Because of this, their label backed out from all promotion plans.
